Marian continues to don the cape of her beloved Robin and, with the help of her merry men, sets in motion a daring plan to save Will, feed the poor who are becoming poorer thanks to the greed of the Sheriff of Nottingham, and outwit the cold and calculating Gisborne. Marian returns to Sherwood the following day where she meets Little John and Alan, who advise that Will had been eventually caught by Gisborne, though not before telling them the spirit of Robin of Locksley had returned and saved him. She carried him in her thoughts, and she would carry out his will with her own hands.” * “Robin’s spirit was not at rest, but it wasn’t Sherwood Forest he haunted - it was Marian. When Marian finds out that Will (her maid Elena’s brother) is being hunted in Sherwood Forest, she doesn’t have time to think about her actions: she dons Robin’s cape in an attempt to disguise herself from Gisborne and his men and saves Will from the executioner’s hood. Marian believes he only wishes to possess everything that Robin once had. Gisborne wants to wed Marian, explaining to her that it may make the transition easier for the people of Locksley. Leaving behind no heir, Robin’s land will soon belong to Gisborne, who upholds the law for the Sheriff of Nottingham. His betrothed, Lady Marian, receives the news from Guy of Gisborne, who has arrested the brother of her maid. Robin of Locksley, loyal to the crown, dies in Jerusalem saving his king. A retelling of Robin Hood where Maid Marian becomes the hero? Why yes, I absolutely need to read that!
